Procedure:
Part A: Extraction stage
1. Place a 125 mL separatory funnel in a ring stand equipped with a small ring.
2. Heat the hot plate.
3. Heat the water (20 mL of hot water is needed) to a boil by placing it on top of the hot plate.
2. To the 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, added two Tylenol (500 mg/ tablet)
3. Dissolved the solid by gently swirling the Erlenmeyer flask.
4. Let the solution cool for a few minutes (approximately till room temperature).
5. Add the mixture to the separatory funnel. -Make sure there was no leak.
5. Add acetone (15mL) to the separatory funnel and cap the funnel. Extracted the aqueous layer.
6. Allow the two phases to separate. Drain the acetone phase into a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask.
7. Re-extract the aqueous layer in the separatory funnel with a new portion of acetone (10mL). Swirl the phases together as described in step 5. Combined the second acetone extract with the first in the 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask.

A heated plate, placed distilled water (60 mL, some of the water will be evaporated) to a 100 mL beaker. Brought the water to a boil and then carefully stick a thermometer in the boiling water. Subsequently, the temperature was noted. If the thermometer was not showing 100 ℃, the difference was added or subtracted from

    In this experiment, pinacol was mixed with sulfuric acid, which protonated the pinacol, allowing it to form a better leaving group. Water is the leaving group off of the pinacol and the pinacol becomes a carbocation. The carbocation that is formed is a secondary carbocation so, rearrangement occurs. A methyl shift happens to form a tertiary carbocation, which is more stable than a secondary carbocation. Then, the remaining oxygen forms a double bond causing it to have a positive charge; allowing the carbon that had a positive charge to have a full octet and to be neutral.…

    Purpose The purpose of the experiment Thin Layer Chromatography was to analyze compounds, Aspirin, a mixture of Tylenol with ethanol, acetaminophen, a mixture of Excedrin with ethanol, Aspirin, and acetaminophen, Anthracene, Benzyl, and Triphenylmethanol by separating them with the help of silica plates. Procedure Three silica plates were taken and on the plastic side, they were all marked 1 cm above its end using a pencil. With the help of capillary tube, the first and the second plates were spotted with Aspirin on the left and Acetaminophen on the right. The middle of the first plate was then spotted with the mixture of Tylenol and ethanol but the middle of the second plate was spotted with the mixture of Excedrin and ethanol.…

    Salcha-1 was incubated in six Erlenmeyer flasks (1L) containing 200mL of Potato Dextrose Broth (10g/ L Great Value mashed potatoes with 5g/L D-glucose). One of the five flasks received approximately 1.0-1.3g of the following metal compounds: cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate, cobalt (II) nitrate hexahydrate, cobalt (II) thiocyanate, erbium chloride hexahydrate, or palladium (II) acetate. The sixth flask was reserved as a control and only contained PDB. Salcha-1 was incubated on an Innova 5000 shaker at 135rpm for three weeks at room temperature.…

    Once all components were added, the separatory funnel was shaken and vented until 2 separate layers were formed, an ether layer and an aqueous layer. Extraction of Glucose: The aqueous layer, containing glucose, was drained into a 50 mL flask, then was placed into an ice bath to form crystals. After 15 minutes passed, the flask was taken out of the ice bath because it was unsuccessful in forming crystals. The glucose then was allowed to dry for 1 week, but it was still moist.…

    Dissolve the solution completely; transfer 1 ½ tablespoons into a cup. Then gargle the solution inside of your mouth for one minute. After you do that you have to spit the solution back into the cup and stir gently and add one drop of soap. Next we had to obtain a new cup and add 50mL of 70% isopropanol and 3 drops of dye and we gently poured the solution slowly into the salt water solution to form a thin layer. We sat the room temperature for 2.5 minutes we started to see a cloud film develop into the layers of solution.…

    Introduction: One of the most common mass spectrometry–based proteomic methodologies used to day is the bottom up protein identification. First, the protein has to be digested into peptides using a protease. Then, the peptide will be submitted to the URMC Proteomics Resource and Laboratory for analysis using LC-MS/MS tandem mass spectrometry. In this approach, the peptides will be separated and introduced into a mass spectrometer using reversed phase liquid chromatography (RC-LC). This spectrometer will measure the mass and charge of each peptide.…

    In order for extraction to work, the solvent must be able to target only one part of the substance. The solvent used is always immiscible so that it forms two separate layers2. Extraction is performed with the use of a separatory funnel. This funnel is designed to have one open side and one side that…

    Cool water was placed into the calorimeter and its temperature recorded, while an equal weight of water was heated to 35.3 ⁰C. The heated water was immediately poured into the water in the calorimeter and the temperature was recorded. The water equivalent of the calorimeter could then be calculated. Approximately 100 g of cool distilled water was placed into the calorimeter and the initial temperature recorded. Solid sodium sulphate decahydrate crystals of 4.00 g were added to the water in the calorimeter and stirred until it dissolved.…
